i've been to busy eating 1/2 priced after easter candy to bother with posting..
Same here. I went to wally world yesterday and all the easter candy was priced down. Too hard to resist.
i've noticed since the memorial, alot of the people on the forum have been posting alot of scriptural stuff, and not so many humorous things.
why is that?

I like to think that I'm a rational being, but please someone reassure me. The empty picture frame story really did leave a deep impression upon me, it kept me out of my sleep many times, especially when I was younger. Now Bryan didn't help too much to ease my mind. Seems my fear is coming all back. Bryan, where do I find that nostradamus thing? Sorry for being so stressed about it, it's probably just the fear I carried around for so many years, now copming back, even though I thought I was smart enough not to let it get to me anymore.

Here it is... I posted this yesterday in the other pope thread.
I went to a catholic school. One time, we were learning things about the vatican, and I clearly remember the teacher telling the story about the empty picture frames. I will relate what I can remember of it, but I think that the teacher might have been reading the tabloids or something. Come to think of it, I first mentioned that I heard the story during the reign of John paul I, but I'm positive now that it was during the reign of the pope who was before him. (can't come up with his name right now).
Mind you, I am just relating something a teacher told us in school. The story might have been a product of her imagination for all I know.
Here goes. Once upon a time they built this place for the pope to live. It was called the vatican. Now, the vatican is huge, and other than it being a home for the pope, it is also a home to many pieces of rather expensive art, including tapistry, paintings and sculptures. The vatican contains several painting galleries. There is one gallery that has always had a number of empty picture frames. Every time a pope died they would put a painting, depicting him, in an empty frame. Nobody knows who came up with the idea of the picture frames, and more important, nobody ever knew who came up with the number of frames. Neither did anyone know if there was a meaning attached to this number or not, but many people have speculated that something huge would happen (the end?) upon filling the last picture frame. Some believe(d) that the amount was divine, that it was God himself who had made sure that there would be a certain amount, fitting His purposes. The teacher told us that there were 3 empty frames left. Then the pope who preceeded John Paul I died (Sorry I forgot his name). I remember getting scared but thinking thank goodness, we still have two empty frames. However, John paul I didn't last long at all. Now I remember getting completely terrified. Only one more picture frame left... waiting for John Paul II.
Of course I'm not as gullable anymore as I used to be, but I was just wondering if anyone had ever heard this story..

Didn't Nostradamus say once this Pope died something amazing would happen?
OMG, now you're scaring me all over again. Bryan, please read my story in the other pope thread. Or wait, I'll go and fetch it and see if I can copy it here.
it will be a sweet, sad, parting.
my home computer died.

housework? Haha, good joke! Hurry back.
7 ?for nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another.
8 all these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.
9 ?then people will deliver you up to tribulation and will kill you, and you will be objects of hatred by all the nations on account of my name.
When the apsotles asked Jesus what the sign would be, he named things such as earthquakes and wars, things that have happened in every single century. Had Jesus said "A black arch will appear in the sky and stay there for 2 weeks", that would have been a lot more clear, no? As with everything in the bible, this scripture about the signs left one heck of a lot of room for different interpretations.
was it being able to join the theocratic ministry school?
being a regular pioneer?
"handling microphones"?
